Scheduled Auto DM ⏰📩
What is Scheduled Auto DM?
Scheduled Auto DM allows you to collect notification requests in advance and send Auto DMs all at once at a specific launch moment.
It’s ideal for:
🚀 Event launches
🎟️ Sign-up openings
🛍️ Product drops
📣 Announcements that start at a specific time
How It Works 🔄
You post a Reel or feed post announcing an upcoming event
Followers leave a comment requesting notification
The system immediately sends an Auto Comment Reply acknowledging the request
The Auto DM is NOT sent right away
When you’re ready, you manually trigger the Auto DM launch
All collected users receive the Auto DM at the same time
Example Flow 💡
Auto Comment Reply (immediate):
“Thanks for requesting a notification! We’ll let you know when the event begins 😊”
Scheduled Auto DM (sent at launch):
“🎉 The event is starting now! You can sign up here ⬇️”
This creates clear expectations and builds anticipation.
AI Variations for Natural Messaging ✨🤖
You can apply AI Variation to both:
📩 Auto DMs
💬 Auto Comment Replies
This helps messages feel more natural and safer at scale.
Auto Comment Reply Variations
Add multiple reply options by separating them with
+++Example:
Thanks for the request! We’ll notify you soon 😊+++Got it! We’ll let you know when it starts 🎉
With AI Variation Enabled
The AI generates natural variations based on your provided options
Meaning stays the same, wording varies slightly
Auto Comment Replies Settings ⚙️
Scheduled Auto DM inherits the settings from the Auto Comment Replies page:
If Auto Comment Replies are enabled, they will run normally
If the Auto Comment Replies switch is turned off,
→ Scheduled Auto DM’s auto comment replies will also be disabled
This ensures consistent behavior across your automation.
Important Instagram Rule: 7-Day Limit ⚠️
You must send the scheduled Auto DM within 7 days of the follower’s notification request.
⏳ If more than 7 days pass, Instagram will block the Auto DM
This rule is enforced by Instagram and cannot be bypassed
What Happens After the Launch? 🔔
Once the scheduled Auto DM starts sending:
Any new comments requesting notification will receive the Auto DM immediately, without waiting
